Yeah...I like this idea...'course I could write a MEC to do that for each 
option, but that's too much like work... :) It'd be really nice to have the 
log say " wrote message in " or  something like "user called 
TCALL" (where TCALL is Todays Callers List) etc... think you can make it 
generic enough to read the "NoDSP" line and log that??? :)
As I said...you could just make a quick MEC file and "open MAX.LOG" and then 
"write 'user went to menu DOORS'" or something like that...but that's silly 
to make a MEC for every option you have... :)
One thing I've learned is I'm gonna "automatically" copy my USER.BBS to 
another drive/partition every night... :) at least then if I have another 
"freak accident" I won't lose that and if I've backed up my configs, I won't 
be so far behind in reinstalling either
